HORTI TREBONII—HORTI VOLUSIANI

the boundary between them and other gardens, the name of which cannot
be made out.1 This place is also called Ad Gemellos (q.v.), and the
horti Torquatiani, therefore, were south of the via Praenestina and west
of Spes vetus (BC 1874, 53-4 ; LA 248-249 ; HJ 364).
Horti Trebonii : mentioned three times by Cicero (ad Att. xii. 38. 4, 41. 3,
43. 2 : twice Trebonii et Cusinii), with no indication of situation. They
were probably on the right bank of the Tiber.
Horti Variani : gardens that are mentioned only once (Hist. Aug. Aurel.
1), where the context points to a location on the Pincian hill or beyond—-
unless indeed their invention is due to a misunderstanding of Hist. Aug.
Heliogab. 14. 5 ; SHA 1916, 7. A, 13. See NS 1922, 137 ; LR 397,
where they are treated as identical with the Horti Spei Veteris (q.v.),
but wrongly (Mel. 1899, 125), for a proposed site, partly inside, partly
outside the porta Praesnestina ; and cf. Obeliscus Antinoi.
Horti Vettiani : see Vettius Agorius Praetextatus, Domus.
Horti Volusiani : known only from an inscription now in the possession
of the American Academy in Rome, a boundary stone between them and
the Horti Marsiani (q.v.). From it we learn that they belonged to
one Ferox Licinianus ; and if he is to be identified with (Cn. Pompeius)
Ferox Licinianus (Pros. iii. 66. 461), who in turn may be the Pompeius
mentioned as one of Domitian’s courtiers who was invited to the famous
conclave on the great fish (Juv. iv. 109 sqq.) and the ‘ Licinus ’ mentioned
by Sidonius Apollinaris (Ep. v. 7), the inscription would belong to the
period circa 80-120 a.d. It is, further, possible that CIL vi. 9973 refers
to these hor(ti), and not to the hor(rea) Volusiana (AJP 1927, 27, 28).
On the other hand a ‘ vestiarius ’ is more appropriate in the latter, and
ib. 7289 certainly seems to imply the existence of such horrea.
1 The supplement [Epaphroditiajnorum is due to Lanciani, and is accepted by Bennett
in the Loeb edition. See Horti Epaphroditiani. Carcopino (Basilique Pythagoricienne,
67-72) proposes to read Tauriajnorum, placing the Basilica (q.v.) within the limits of
these gardens, and pointing out that neither the Horti Epaphroditiani nor the Horti
Pallantiani need have come into existence until after the death of Statilius Taurus
(53 a.d.), so that the Horti Tauriani may have included the area which they afterwards
occupied. He attributes the Horti Torquatiani to D. Iunius Silanus Torquatus, a great-
grandson of Augustus, who was forced to commit suicide in 64 a.d.
